Welcome to the ninth edition on February 26th, 2018, brought to you by iHq/fredair.esu.
The task in this competition is to build a track in 90 minutes or less, according to the theme which is announced at the start of the edition. Before the end of the 90 minute timelimit the track has to be uploaded to MX and a link to the map has then to be posted in this thread (the latter being excluded from the timelimit - only the upload time counts). The competition starts as soon as this post is released.

The theme of this edition: Mini LapsBuild a map consisting of 3 laps, that are each 20 to 25 seconds long. The length of the second and third lap count; the first lap does not matter, because you have (quite surely) slower there. The laps do not have to be the same – each lap can a different route. Further you don’t have to use the multilap as a finish, you can also use the normal finish block.
The execution of the theme will not be judged this time!
